Zippo 1941 Replica Windproof Lighter|Metal Long Lasting Zippo Lighter | Best with Zippo Lighter Fluid | Refillable Lighter | Perfect for Cigarettes Cigars Candles | Pocket Lighter | 1941 Replicas

I've had mine now for six months. Not long but, as a virtual chain-smoker, it's had a fair ammount of use and abuse. Took a week to arrive, which was faster than the delivery estimate so no complaints about service. It arrived in good dondition and both the lighter and packaging were in perfect condition. The finish looks better in the flesh than the photos indicate. Seen from an oblique angle, the brushed sides appear almost black, so it's name is no misnomer. What separates this from other Zippos is the four hinge lid bracket, as opposed to the standard five. This construction makes for a greater sense of robustness than the five-hinged varients. Friends who bought current model Zippos at around the same time as I have lighters which already have a decidedly sloppy feel when opening them. Mine still feels as firm as the day it arrived and has a pleasing snap on closing. Strangely, it also feels nicer to hold than its modern counterparts due to its more rounded casing. The only downsides are that you need to use Zippo flints, as the more commonly available types (Swan, etc) are too long which can be a pain. Stock up on Zippo flints to avoid severe irritation... The second concerns the brushed finish. If you walk around with it in a pocket along with coins or the like, the finish (very) quickly becomes scratched. Personally, I rather like it. Adds to the character. Hors d' combat and all that. If you want to keep yours pristine however, this has to be considered. I've owned several Zippos over the years and this is certainly the best. Oh, and the hinge makes for a good conversation starter with other weed addicts. If you're after a Zippo, this is the one to have. I just wish they'd make a version with their heavy duty brass casing...

really really brilliant zippo. i like the patina mine has developed over the last few months. the polished parts are actually not that shiny anymore, which is making me wish (just a little though) that i'd bought the one that was shiny all over. but the brushed part is getting a different kind of patina too, so that's still quite good. and, obviously, if i really wanted, i could go over this with brasso. if i wanted it to be shiny again, or anything like that. i happen to be a fan of patinas myself though. of course, you need to refuel this every 1-3 weeks (depending on your use and the temperature it's kept in), but that's just an inherent part of the way these lighters work. it's a perfectly acceptable tradeoff to me, though, to get a lighter that lights on the first strike every time and doesn't go out until i *want* it out. that's my favourite thing about naphtha lighters, you don't have to hold down a wee button to keep it going. you just close it with a satisfying click when you're done. it's also a really nice change of pace from bics and clippers to be able to light up when it's raining a little, and when it's windy. living near the river, it's windy a lot! one last thing i want to say... if you've used any non-zippo brand lighters with a similar design, and were put off naphtha lighters by your experience with those.... give this a try. for a long time i thought this style of lighter was garbage because i had a "star lighter". that lighter needed 6-8 strokes on the wheel to light at all, the flame wasn't tall, and it wasn't really wind resistant. star lighters sold it as having all the benefits of a zippo at less price... but that's just plain false. not to mention, the click sound is tinny and hollow with my star lighter. plus, zippo lighters have a LIFETIME warranty. a real, genuine one, like they used to do them. proper, no questions asked, if it's broken, they'll fix it. no receipt or proof of purchase needed – if it's a genuine zippo, they'll fix it. if they can't fix it, they'll replace it. even if it was accidental damage. that means this could be the last lighter you ever need to buy. now doesn't that seem worth the extra upfront cost? you'll be getting a lighter that will literally last you your whole life, and probably your children too.

This zippo and its finish in my opinion is by far the best zippo model currently available. Its miles better than the Z200 (super common ones) it has nice touches to the casing and due to its size its sits perfect in the hand and a delight to use. This is going to take over from my colibri wellington lighter that I have been using for cigars..... yes thats right cigars ! and before you scoff about using a zippo which i know you are not supposed to use because of the petrol smell affecting your quality sticks i have swapped out the zippo petrol insert for a Z-plus jet flame butane insert instead. Upgrading the fuel insert/tank for those who wish to retain the Zippo case but hate the petrol smell. Before purchasing it I searched all over the web to find any info on whether the Z-plus would fit a 1941 case but to no avail, however i can confirm they do fit perfectly. I disagree with another reviewer who said that other standard zippo inserts dont fit, thats rubbish they do as long as you are using a Z200 insert (super common one) or the Armour insert either will fit. I love this 1941 model so much I now have a black ice to go with the collection and will add the brushed brass and the black crackle to the collection.

WOW! This was my first Zippo ever and I absolutely love it. The Zippo is a classic piece of history which I think everyone should own, even if you don't smoke. I find myself just flicking it open and closing it constantly, it's almost addictive. Keep in mind that the brushed brass will start to get some scratches and the finish will begin to look pretty worn and old looking. But, in my opinion that just add that old school feeling to it, so I don't really mind that. I also recommend using the zippo premium fluid as that's what will be the best option. If you use the Zippo heavily the fluid will need to be refilled pretty often. The other thing that is so comfortable with Zippo lighters is that you don't have to worry about the wind blowing out your light. I think all of you who have used a Bic lighter is aware of this. All in all, this is the best lighter I've ever used hands down. I really recommend getting one.

今回初めてジッポを買ってみました。 デュポンは持っていましたが、ジッポの方が 実用的なので良いですね。まだ開閉が下手くそなので参考になりますかね。ヤフー知恵袋に 開閉音がいいのが1941レプリカと有りましたので決めてになりました。

Love the clasic design of this model, and feel of brushed brass.

Quatorzième Zippo acheté sur Amazon pour ma collection. Zippo standard en laiton, finition brossée sur les deux faces et polie sur les cotés, ici dans sa version 1941, dont Zippo a fait une réplique exacte, donc une superbe qualité de fabrication et pratiquement indestructible. Les différences avec les Zippo modernes sont : 1 / Formes plus arrondies. 2 / Fond plat. 3 / Axe de charnière en quatre parties au lieu de cinq parties. 4 / 14 trous au lieu de 16 trous sur la cheminée des modèles 1935 et modernes. 5 / Axe de la roulette de pierre évidé et non plein. Bien entendu, le module essence de ce Zippo 1941 est parfaitement compatible avec les modèles 1935 et modernes ( A partir de 1950 ). Livré dans sa boîte de présentation Zippo dont le couvercle carton gris/argent est une réplique de la boîte de 1941 avec le slogan de la marque : " A WEEK'S TRIAL, THEN-ALL THE WHILE ".
